Sun Tree, oil on gessobord, 5x7"
This was the first of five paintings that I worked on when I went to Lake Patoka two weeks ago. The other four have already been posted - I inadvertently went in reverse order.
I tried to capture the sun radiating on the trees that morning. The water still had more of a green/dark tone to it because the sun was still on the rise. This little scene provided me with the perfect warm up.
On another note, my daughter Reid received a college scholarship from the St. James Art Festival high school competition for her portfolio entry. There are 6 scholarships offered from local foundations associated with the St. James Art Festival given to talented students. Reid won the Dot Wade scholarship, which coincidentally was same one that her brother Hugh won for his 2-D portfolio last year. I am extremely proud - times 2!! Here are a couple photos from the reception last night:
